🚍 Why Colonial Bus Is the #1 Choice for Commercial Buses and Parts in the Mid-Atlantic



When it comes to commercial buses, fleet support, and dependable parts availability, Colonial Bus stands in a category of its own. For more than 43 years, organizations across Maryland, D.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the Mid-Atlantic have trusted us to keep their transportation operations running smoothly. Whether you’re purchasing a new shuttle bus or sourcing critical parts for your fleet, Colonial Bus provides an unmatched combination of expertise, inventory, and long-term support.



A Dealer That Understands Real Fleet Needs



Fleet managers, transportation directors, and small business owners all share one thing: they can’t afford downtime. Colonial Bus understands this better than anyone. That’s why we carry a wide selection of Ford and Chevy Starcraft Allstar buses, Magellan shuttles, National Van conversions, and Workhorse electric commercial vehicles — all ready to meet a broad range of transportation needs.


From senior living and paratransit operations to government agencies and campus shuttle services, our vehicles are built for reliability, comfort, and long-term performance. Customers who buy from Colonial Bus don’t just get a great vehicle — they get a partner who understands the full lifecycle of fleet ownership.



The Best Parts Inventory in the Region



One of the biggest reasons customers choose Colonial Bus is our fully stocked parts department. Many dealers only stock basic, slow-moving components — but Colonial Bus invests heavily in inventory so our customers don’t have to wait.


We stock:


  • Allison Transmission parts
  • Cummins engine components
  • Luberfiner filters
  • Freedman Seating parts
  • Electrical, HVAC, suspension, brake, and OEM-specific bus components
  • Hard-to-find specialty parts for older models



Whether your fleet includes newer buses or models that have been in service for a decade, we can source what you need quickly — often the same day. With supply chain delays still affecting many operators, this level of inventory makes a major difference in keeping fleets running.



Expert Service You Can Count On



Every vehicle needs expert care, and Colonial Bus is home to some of the most experienced commercial vehicle technicians in the Mid-Atlantic. From preventive maintenance to complex electrical diagnostics, our team is trained on the latest technologies — including alternative fuels and EV platforms.


As a Maryland State Inspection Station, we also streamline compliance and safety checks, giving you a convenient one-stop solution for your fleet.



A Customer-First Approach That Sets Us Apart



Many dealerships focus on quick sales — but Colonial Bus focuses on relationships. Customers repeatedly tell us that what they value most is how we support them long after the paperwork is signed.


When you choose Colonial Bus, you get:


  • A responsive sales team that listens
  • Parts department staff who know buses inside and out
  • Service techs who diagnose issues correctly the first time
  • A partner who answers the phone when you need help



This combination is rare — and it’s exactly why so many organizations stay with Colonial Bus for decades.



Your Next Bus — and Every Part That Keeps It Running — Is Here



Whether you’re expanding your fleet, replacing older units, or stocking parts for preventive maintenance, Colonial Bus has the inventory, expertise, and support your organization needs to stay safe, compliant, and efficient.
